There's nothing simple about this group of mathematicians when one user posts an article about sexism in /r/math.

I would try and make more math puns, but I'm feeling pretty burnt out after that shitty one in the title. The full thread (sorted by controversial, of course), can be found here.

Some nuggets include Hitler himself kicking a woman out of mathematics, a representation theorist calling female representation "liberal bullshit" (look at that another pun), and one shill for Big Cruise Ships getting his advertising on (that last one wasn't drama, but I thought it was funny).

Also, despite what my post history suggests, I care about more types of drama than only feminism drama. That said, I used a post filter to filter out all political bullshit, and the only thing that seems to slip through are women. I'll make sure to let you all in on more, hopefully non-feminist drama when I see it.

This is a nice post and all, but I'm guessing that the only reason anyone is even arguing about this because these people believe 3D is superior to 2D.

I'd think /u/celerym agrees wholeheartedly with this.

All these mentions are making me feel like a celebrity

u/celerym at what point are we going to say women aren't being held back in stem, most k-12 teachers are female, we live in a society that tells women they can do anything, we have a 60-40 female to make college enrollment rate, even higher at graduate levels. Maybe just maybe they don't want to do math as they don't have a problem doing biological sciences

that submission history

what the fuck

Jesus Christ I didn't figure them for a waifu lover u/celerym explain your submissions

Stuff is cute. What can I say?

At least it's not furry

Furry and legwear and SFW. I will just never understand other people, man.

Fatalpulse!

He's my go-to for amputee human cattle porn featuring mind breaks!

Good shit.

/u/celerym is a virgin neckbeard who spends 90% of his time posting lewd pictures of anime girl stockings and wonders why no female in real life wants to fuck him.

Oh look a pleb from some cancerous shithole

nigga, you post vicariously to a sub called /r/animelegwear

at this point, cancer would be a sweet relief to the pathetic life you live

It's a sub I founded actually. I don't just post there.

wow, you really don't need to emphasize how much of a lonely weeb you are

Holy shit you're literally a male feminist stereotype

Seriously the way you gave women no agency to their college choices i assumed you were one of those college broads who major in something stupid and then bitch about women not taking stem courses. Turns out you're even worse a white knight

I find it adorable how everyone is trying to trigger me here.

ur waifu a shit

Yo that not nice

ur waifu a shit 2

tbh your submission history is triggering as fuck. Can't even find a single bussy instead just bunch of autistic weeb pics.

Stop making fun of my fucking anime.

no

/u/celerym posted nothing wrong.

Jesus I should have listened to you.

Doesn't even stop after you graduate. Have you ever seen a male in HR?

We need a final solution to the feminist question.

Probably should ask the crew over at incels they spend a lot of time thinking about it

Become gay.

/u/fatete if you left mathematics because some math students talked about having sex, then i doubt you'll ever find another field to study in. There is no field more celibate than mathematics.

Is NEET a field?

i wish

Every sub gets one of these posts eventually. It's just a matter of copy and pasting.

It should.

That part of the article disgusts me and now I feel dumb for being naive enough to think mathematicians would be better than that level of dudebro bs. I don't know how "they" would stop things like that but if I saw a group of male classmates act like that I'd be disgusted with them as people. And probably hang and discuss math more exclusively with the women. There's no top-down solution for things like that. It's up to individual guys to try to influence the group to act differently.

Imagine being this much of a mangina.

I agree with him.

Do you want a cookie for being such an ally

He thinks this is going to get him deep in the sweet nectar.

Yes please i love cookies.

u/cwkid i agree, we need to stop disgusting things like men being sexually attracted to women. How fucking horrible that it's still happening in 2017, i thought we as a society were better than that.

Some nuggets include Hitler himself kicking a woman out of mathematics

Before I clicked the link I thought this was going to be about Emmy Noether... because oddly enough, I guess Hitler actually did kick a woman out of mathematics.

In high school my male math teachers were much better than my female math teachers. The men seemed to have this complete and deep grasp of what they were teaching, how it fit into the broader context, and if students pushed beyond the material or struggled with the material they seemed to have no problem going there or explaining it in a different way. The women seemed extremely stiff like they learned the steps and how to teach them in a certain way but didn't have this bigger picture all encompassing ability. Could have been the subjects though: I had men for algebra ii, calculus, and comp sci. I had women for geometry and trig/pre calc.

In college I was a math major. All the profs were men (duh) but the male TAs were all better than the female TAs for what felt like the same reason as in high school. The distribution of sexes was roughly uniform between algebra/analysis/topology kinda of subjects so I don't think it was a "topic" effect.

I had a really good and competent female linguistics ta though who did something pretty quantitative in linguistics. Also a girl in my algebra group was really really excellent at coming up with off the wall but ultimately good ideas to do the proofs. She was legit bonkers though.

/u/cwkid, you could stop men from finding women attractive and discussing it by:

1) Dressing all women in burkahs or

2) Castrating all men except for a small breeding pool

Which would you prefer?

simple about this group

It causes me physical pain that the average retard here doesn't know that's a fucking funny joke

If you can't talk about grody sexual shit and get a laugh out of it with someone you're not friends, you're colleagues. These people may literally never have had an actual friend and that's sad. I asked my friend the other day if he'd rather eat out a trannies bussy or suck (((her))) dick and these people think asking which same aged coworker is cutest is beyond the pale. Maybe women aren't going into math because mathematicians are a bunch of autistic people concerned about appearing adult enough to their "friends" who will delete their contact information when they graduate.
